Starting out in Cleveland suburbs

[Alexander Metrisin]

Hello everybody,

Bought my primary residence feb 2018. Fixed it up over the last year and I’m saving for my next down payment for an investment property.

I have been going back and forth on multi-family vs single family home for my first property to rent out.

My priorities with this property are to jump start me into the world of REI. People (non-investors) keep telling me multi family will only cause me headaches and I'll be repairing something every other week.

I want to hear from YOU, real investors about the pros and cons of single family vs multi family (specifically for my first rental)- I WILL eventually probably have both.

Are multi family renters really that bad? Are single family renters really more stable?

Thanks in advance
